I want to build a personal workstation for home that will allow me to code my machine learning projects, do CAD and render 3d models. Additionally, I will also use the machine to play, but that will be minimal. I want this pc to serve me for a long time so after months of investigation I have decided to choose the MSI MEG Z790 ACE EATX as the core of this build. I believe this mobo will grant me a good balance between RAM size and RAM speed. It will also allow me to add a second GPU in the future and has thunderbolt4 capability, which was a must for me in order to perform fast external data transfers. I was considering other options such as: Z790 AORUS TACHYON , Z790 AERO G , ProArt Z790-CREATOR WIFI or EVGA Z790 CLASSIFIED, 121-RL-E798-KR, LGA 1700, Intel Z790. I am designing a DIY pc case. The concept of the case is to maximize airflow while at the same time I can count on a large area to radiate heat with a water loop. The case is tall and slim to promote natural circulation of warm air from bottom to top. Also, it looks nice. Top will exhaust, bottom will intake, and frontal side will fit a quad noctua fan ekwb radiator. I am attaching the first sketches of the case. I will be expanding this thread shortly. Current state (21/11/2023): Current state (19/12/2023): Current build state (05/03/2024):

These are some renderings of a case I am designing it is almost out of cad. I have been doing some fabrication test runs for critical features. It is modern, minimalist and made almost entirely of wood (probably going with Bamboo lumber). I simulated a 4090 and the hottest CPU I could find and it just barely can handle it, in an 80F room. (Not that i'd put those in it, I'v just got a Ryzen 3600 & RTX 3070). I'll have to run an actual flow sim not just do the ideal heat transfer but i'm really trying to keep the fans just to the bottom and the back to keep the minimalist and simple aesthetic. I also want to redesign the fan greats. They are being made on a CNC router anyways so anything that can be cut out with say a 1/8 inch radius ball end mill is possible (Input welcome). I think it will be pretty easy to add Hard drive and SSD mounts, but they are hardly required these days with m.2 storage so cheep OH. I still need to figure out if i'll be doing a glass or solid wood side panel. The side panel will be magnetically attached, no hinges and a curved 2 inch handle hole on the front seam to get into it. or a simple small fabric tab if I go for the glass. Not sure which I will go for. I think the manufacturing cost will be about $400 ($300 material, $100 labor) maybe more if I do the glass (I haven't found a glass manufacturer or vendor yet. But i'v talked with a local wood craftsman about making it sounds like the labor will be about $100 (Still way cheeper than buying all the required tools myself) I also need to figure out what the heck I am doing with the rear panel IO shield. It is kinda a tough situation, they are built to clip into sheet metal and the thick wood does not lend itself to that. I could machine down a thin lip to emulate the sheet metal but not 100% sure it will work. I can't seem to find a blank IO shield online to test this idea out on. Any help on the IO shield would be great! I think I have the PCIE slots figured out even though they are not modeled here yet. For the cable management I am planning to make a few stand off poles with 1/8inch bamboo plate on them to hide and route the cables under. So, tell me what you think? Please read the above thoroughly before asking (what about this feature) any additions or solutions to existing problems come to mind? Alot of time has gone into this and I really want it to be a beautiful professional product (honestly 1/2 thought about commercializing it but its kinda expensive af lol). Thanks for your help!

About a year ago an idea hit me right in the head about putting a screen into a guitar, from there the idea snowballed into a whole project that has been in the development for quite some time now, but now it's finally turning into reality. This development process really kicked my butt from the start with all the logistical ideas on how things would connect, what parts to use both in the guitar and what computer should I put in. In later stages a lot of time was spent on making my own computer case that would allow me to insert and remove the computer with relative ease, as if you want to upgrade parts down the road. This project also got me into 3D printing since that was the best way to make such small case with all the necessary features, as it did allow me to rapidly demo out ideas and concepts. The current build details include these parts (can be subject to change as the project goes on): PC: - Minisforum UM560 (16Gb ram + 512Gb M.2) - choose just because its a powerhouse of a pc, has decent cooling solution that alows me to exaust the head out with relative ease, also fits perfectly in the guitar body thickness wise. it also has a display port type C on the front that is going to be used to power the display in the guitar. LED stuff: - Micro LEDs APA102 - 200 LED/M - found LEDs with great density and width that fits perfectly into the edge binding of the guitar (tested how it's going to turn out before hand, light is not that well defused, but that is to be expected when there is only 2mm of resin between the LED and the outer edge so I can live with it) - ESP32 board - I am using two of these to power and control LEDs in the neck and body separately that i can later combine in to one using WLED, planing on having it soundreactive, that can be done through WLED or LEDFX DISPLAY: - WaveShare 7 inch QLED display: I am using it since it's about the biggest display I can fit between the bridge of the guitar and the neck and it has a decent way of mounting it GUITAR PARTS: Bridge: GHOST ResoMax NV - The only reason I'm using this bridge is because of the display that's in between the bridge and neck, there is no place for normal guitar pickups. But there is also another problem when it comes to picking up noise from the LEDs or the computer it's self, that's why I choose a bridge that has pizza pickups in it that allows me to pick up the sounds the string produce with no noise from the LED light. The plan is for this guitar to have the ability to be played as a normal guitar, have on board recording capabilities, casual gaming/working, RGB edge binding that reacts to the music you're playing on the guitar, or the music on the PC its self. here are some progress fotos so far! Guitar body before the edge binding is on and unpainted Computer case End goal for the body So much testing It fits, it sits

I have attached a photograph of the Pc case I am trying to replicate. It would be amazing if anyone here happens to have the tutorial or blueprints for the case that would make life easier. But alas its not going to be that easy I feel like this case is probably the best looking case I have ever seen in my life plus this would go perfectly in my room where I have wooden flooring and a wooden desk. This would be the cherry on top. I am a novice PC builder haven't done anything DIY ever so that's mostly why I am stuck. If someone is kind enough to help me draw out the blueprints for it I would like one slight change for it to have glass panels since where I live there is a lot of dust in the air and an open air case wouldn't survive 2 days. Anyways, first time posting on this forum sorry if I posted in the wrong section or something PS: If out of some miracle someone at LTT see's this I believe they would be equally impressed and it might end up getting built. So if anyone reading this is like an admin or anyone here knows how they could get this picture somewhere where someone at LTT would see this steal the picture by all means. I just want to see the case built and see how

In a related post I mentioned that I was experimenting... Making a new case... pictures I'm providing shows my current progress and the plan for how it will be configured. The point of view of the diagram will have a plexiglass side panel to allow for RGB lighting later on. Thoughts and input welcome.

tldr: I need help with a case layout. So i have a woodworking shop at my disposal and planning to build a custom case for my new pc. My main priority is for the pc to make almost no noise when the cpu is under load because i have a small bedroom studio and need minimal noize coming from the pc. (GPU noise is irrelevant since it is basicly at idle when using fl studio). So im planning to go for a fanless solution for the cpu. I'm going to be getting an intel 11400f and putting a Phanteks PH-TC14PE on top of it with no fans from what i have researched its one of the best fanless solutions for the price. Im going to be putting the cpu into a mini itx board and whatever gpu i can get my hands on for some light video editing. I have had a play with some potential layouts of the case but I would love some suggestions as I feel stuck. (Also i will probably use a pcie extension cable)

It’s finally finished! My first ever PC, and it is way cooler than I thought it would be (both literally and metaphorically)! I’m really excited to show it off, so I’m going to stop typing and let the pictures do the talking.

Hello LTT community! Finally upgrading from the Fx Platform. This was not my first build, though it was my first hard tubing job. Some of you may notice the slanted tubing, the first mobo I had failed and I had this Gigabyte 970A ds3p on hand. Luckily the socket location was close enough that the original tubes fit. At the time my intentions were to just get the pc working and in a year or so upgrade and redo the loop. Well its been 5 ish years since that day and the time has come! Old build -R9 380 w/ Painted Shroud (upgraded this to a gtx1650) -EK water block and fittings -PETG tubing -Alpha cool reservoir -XSPC Rad -Cougar A500 psu -Corsair sp 120's on rad -Fractal silent series R2 exhaust fan -White 24 pin and pcie cable extensions -Kingston 250gb and Samsung 1tb ssd -Gigabyte 970A ds3p Motherboard -Fractal Design Define C case New Build - GPU to be (determined) gtx 1650 for now -R5 3600 - Stock AMD Wraith cooler -MSI B550m Mortar wifi Motherboard -Cougar A500 psu -Fractal Define C case -Corsair sp 120 exhaust -black Corsair fans x2 intake (not sure on the model they came with a case) - Kingston and Samsung ssd (same as old build) Moving away form liquid cooling for now. I may do a custom loop again but I specifically want to use a tower cooler. I'll be reusing the Define C case for this build with a few modifications. My goal is a "classy" aesthetic also I want to incorporate wood into this build. The top of the case has a removable panel, also there is a cut out in the bottom shroud with a removable panel. I remade these panels using mahogany and painted the rings on the corsair sp fans the match. Waiting on motherboard and ram now.

As the title implies I want to make a new Case for my current rig. I have experience with woodwork so I can make a very personalized build and get the whole rig to be more compact. I´ve done a bit of research about the topic and the majority warns about heat dissipation and EMI shielding. I could deal with the heat through ventilation but I have no idea how to go about EMI shielding. Ive read that I should use metal (from an old case) or metallic paint for the insides to deal with EMI. Secondly how would I go about grounding my motherboard, powersuply etc.. ? Thanks for the replies in advance.

I finally got my new desk built, sanded, stained, assembled and now installed! Still have a bit more cable management to accomplish, but at least it is functional. The Mess before I started. This is what my workstation has been like for years. Our robot vacuum would constantly get caught on the cables, and they bothered me. Not much room. Had to clean the space while I had the chance. Old desk next to new. Sorry for the blurry photo. The new one fits. My cat Bennett (Benny) agrees. Here is my cable management system. That is a metal bracket (I bent out of Aluminum bar stock) holding the UPS and a Rain Gutter downspout extension I am using for a cable raceway. $6 instead of the nice metal IKEA one for $35. Putting stuff on the new desk. Here is my first cable management for my desk attempt. At least our robot vacuum can get under there now. And now my tower is no longer on the floor anymore. I appreciate all the feedback and ideas while I was doing this!!! Hey @Mateyyy, @TofuHaroto what do you think?

Hey I'm building my computer in my desk which would be out of wood. My plan is making everything out of 1/2 inch wood. So I came over few questions about how to install some of the components. I was wondering if anyone know how to make a gpu slot or whatever you wanna called it on the wood so the gpu wouldn't bend? The motherboard is gonna be vertical but I don't wanna make the gpu vertically too in case I wanna expand on the other slots later on. Any advice? And any advice on power supply in 1/2 inch wood too? Would I need a longer screw for power supply than or just thinner wood? Thanks in advance

I'm new to the forum, new to PC building, and new to the LTT fan base, so I did the only logical thing I could think of: I watched every video on multiple LTT channels in the past year, built a 1500 dollar parts list on pcpartpicker, and then set out to make a PC that would be unmistakably my own creation. Thus, after 3 months of work, one trip to the hospital, and a stroke of luck on the COVID-19 stock market, I give you... The Stumputor. I've included a video of the general process, but I'm going to take all the photos I have and make a log of posts that detail the whole process. I haven't assembled all the parts yet, so if you think I'm making bad choices then please let me know! I'm new and appreciate advice! https://pcpartpicker.com/user/sneakyscout007/saved/rzkdD3 Instragram_video_2.mp4 Instragram_video_2.mp4

I'm mounting a motherboard on a wooden base I just want to know what is the safest way to do so. What should I know before installing the motherboard on a wooden surface?

Hi guys I want to move my pc from my crappy case onto a homemade case to mount on my wall. The idea here is to build something that I can mount on the wall behind my desk and monitors, that looks nice, is compact, and that I can take off of the wall, pick up, and carry with me to a LAN party. I'm using an ATX motherboard and PSU with a large air cooler (Fuma 2) and a gigabyte 1070ti. I still want to be able to use my odd and put at least my ssd and one 3TB HDD in the system. Below are my base layout and some PC that fit the aesthetic I'm going for. If any of you could give me some suggestions or design/layout ideas I would really appreciate it. 7d522d1d4c928d688a00b7cadf1f4e31.jpeg.webp 7d522d1d4c928d688a00b7cadf1f4e31.jpeg.webp PC.glb PC.stl

This is my basic setup for doing graphic design work. I am going to get a graphics card and jump up to 32 gigs of RAM shortly. New desk is under construction.

This is my current PC build. Specs are pitiful this has an core i7 3gen 3.40 ghz I think, 8 gbs of DDR3 RAM, a 320 HHD hard drive blue again I think, with a cheep power supply that seems to be working, a DVD player and finally a 8 gb Sapphire Nitro Radeon R9 390 GPU. PLEASE HELP ME!

I've been working a project the last few months building my own arcade cabinet and I intend on putting a ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z with an i5-3570K and a GTX 970 Windforce inside. I have a a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo on top of it that did a great job keeping everything cool when it was inside an actual computer case previously. I had it overclocked to 4.6GHz without any issues as well, which honestly was surprisingly easy. My worry is that when I install it inside of the cabinet (which is made of wood and has two 15"x35" doors on the front of it that aren't airtight, but it's only a small gap) their wont be enough airflow inside. I could add some small vents out the sides and/or back, or I have a bunch of extra fans that I could add to the cabinet, but I don't want to go ahead and buy a 120MM hole saw and start cutting everything up if I don't have to. Would I be asking for trouble if I just mounted everything inside and let it rip?

Hello everyone. At the beginning I would like to apologize you all for my bad English, i'm not a native speaker. I was planning to replace my old laptop with something new for almost a year but I always had some other expenses Finally i have some spare money. For today my planned setup looks like this: CPU: Ryzen5 2600X GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 GAMING 8GB GDDR5 or GTX 1060 RAM: HyperX Predator 16GB HDD: Samsung 970 Evo M.2 250GB + WD Blue 2TB PSU: Corsair RMx 650W CP-9020178-EU MB: to be honest idk. At the beginning, I planned to choose Gigabyte X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING but now i thinking about MSI X470 GAMING PRO CARBON or ASRock X470 Taichi. Or even ASUS PRIME X470-PRO. Maybe you have some advise. Most of the cases looks mehh or is it's too expensive, so i decide to to make one from scratch. The choice was obviously simple. Wood. Work is already in progres. A few very raw sketches. I decided to stick to my original idea and choose variant B. With little difference as to the location of the PSU. Dimensions about 45x45x45 cm. Two wooden side panels, front with three holes for 140fans and two 5,25 bays hidden behind wooden doors and sliding top with window. There are no other plans, everything is in my head and will be modified during work. DAY 1 Some reclaimed wood. Oak beams from the old fence, old boards from the attic and scrap remaining from previous projects Att work i ran them through jointer and finished off with planer in home. Motherboard tray, raw fit and some old MB And glued Working on the frame. One of the side panels DAY 2 and 3 Mostly filling nail holes with pegs. Patching knots. Cuting pegs Multitool was very helpful in cutting off all these pegs. But in hindsight i should bother with any of this. DAY 4 Gluing front panel. DAY 5 Resin is here + blue dye U use resin for the first time. Filling all the cracks and holes. At this point, I realized that I shouldn't pegs all this nail holes. DAY 6 Shopping day. 3,5mm nd 2x 3,8mm drils M3 bolts, washers and nuts small wheels set of 25cm ... I have no idea what it's called in english ( drawers are mounted on them) and the most important 5mm straight cutting bit. DAY 7 Work on the front panel . Panel cut to the final dimensions. 43x43cm I made it simple jig for cutting 140mm round hole. Unfortunately, none of my bits(good one) is long enough to cut the entire thickness of the board (and thickness of jig). I had to use multitool. And finish with template bit. IDK. it's looks not bad. Another jig for cutting hole for two 5,25 bay. Cutting bay for 2x 5,25 and some "control panel" reset and buttons for backlight. Quick sanding. Front panel with door. Cutting 5mm slots with router. After three passes i discovered my huge mistake, 140mm holes weren't sanded. Start with 40 and 80 grid and finish with 120 grid by hand. I don't have quality roundover bit so instead of risking wood chiping i use 45 cuting bit and sandpaper Cutting rest of the slots. I made two mistakes:(. Measure twice, cut once :). Gluing filler strip in to the slots. That's all up to now. I still hesitate over the finish. I was thinking about burning and staining. But idk how a resin can handle treatment with a fire. I was also thinking about controlling the fan speed and i still somewhere have necessary electronic components. But I don't think it necessary.

Hello fellow tech enthusiasts, Last year I built this custom PC case at my parents house for my dad to store all his maps and data for our forestry family business (and also so I have a rig to play games on when I'm at home) I'm a student at u university, studying to be a English and it teacher in Germany. Due to my very limited income I was never able to build a awesome computer for myself, but I had the brilliant idea to talk my parents into needing one for "their maps and picture edeting ". For years I had the dream to create a custom case made out of wood. I was never sure how to do it properly, and also how to find a designer that looked elegant, was 'pactical' and nobody had done before. The designer I choose now, I am very happy with, and for the first PC I build, I think it is awsome. I wanted to recreate the look of stacked wood, the tape you would find at any home with a fireplace. The wax I achieved this was by making a frame out of 4 pliewood pieces on the top, bottom, and sides, and fine 2 metal fence squares in the front and back. The bottom wood piece has a big hole in it where I mounted one singular 250mm case fan. On the sides I prepared bolts and spacers to mount the motherboard, before I screwed the wooden cut pieces to the side all the way around. The front metal mesh, I spray painted white, and cut sections of of cut wood and screed them to the mesh to make it look like the wood was stacked everywhere. The mesh can be screwed on and off with 4 screws. The back mash has no wood. The anterior of the case is as small as I could find parts for it. 32cm of space in all directions has to be enough to install a motherboard, 16gb of ram, an i7 8700k with the biggest bequiet cooler I could find, 5tb of storage and a super tiny gtx1080. All the parts fit perfectly, no space to give. The hdd and ssd drives were mounted with velcro tape to the sides were there was space. Cooling in the case is amazing. The one singular case fan pulls up air into the gpu and the rest of the case is just cooled the the massive cup cooler circulating air from front to back through the "open" case design. One thing I wanted to achieve in this build, was having no buttons or lapels on the case for a cleaner look. So I ran 3m extension cords for everything through a sleve from the case directly into one external wooden box that could be placed any where. On the picture zou can see the disc drive, the power button, and connections for usb 3 and 2 as well as headphone and mic. I'm sorry that I cant provide pictures of the build, but I did not realise I would live the PC so much that I would like to share the finished results. For the wood I used a tree from our forest that i cut down and dried myself. The monitor is also from the same wood, where a friendly carpenter prepared the wood and I got a controller board from Ebay and a old laptop screen. If I have the funds to hold another one of those, I think I I will provide pictures of the process, but for now feel free to ask me anything. Urs, Moritz

I need a 9900k for REASONS! The general idea was to create a case with direct airflow pretty much directly from bottom to top in the smallest doable form factor. It's not perfect by a long shot but then again i am no craftsman of any sort. With it now running and having gone through a few benchmarks and stress tests I found that i can comfortably run the cpu to a clock of 4.9 without the fans going crazy or temps going over 80 degrees. The tower cooler is definitely sufficient. The GPU is also suprisingly silent for a blower stly card but definitely the loudest part of the system. If i were to do it again i would probably not take a blower style card again but it's really no big deal. The system is overall almost inaudible even under some light load (i.e: games) The GPU will of course be audible when doing a render. If anyone is interested I'll pack out some of the pictures i did inbetween and share the build process. I am also open to any questions or suggestion of course. Update: Here's some pics and description to serve as a little bit of a buildlog. half of those are "reenactments" though, since i did not make many pictures while building unfortunately. The initial idea: I had this old can for imported olives that i liked the look of and so i had the whacky idea of putting a pc into it. I made a first prototype... which worked insofar as it fit the can over it. I realized though, that the whole construction was a little to shaky while also being pretty heavy, so i started again: I created this model in blender of how it should look like. It has all the components in it and should fit since it is all to scale ... or so i thought. I went to building then... Here's a tutorial on how to do teethed connections the dirty way. Don't do this in front of a woodworker. They might just murder you. Draw the teeth (preferrably with a breadth that is a divider to the total length, so that there isn't one little tooth at the end): The depth should usually be the same as the depth of the plate. Set a tablesaw to the depth and draw it towards the plate holding it like so: # Be careful doing that of course. tablesaws are dangerous. I recommend putting a second sacrificial plate behind the first one, so that the first plate does not fray. Lastly... you use whatever you have or the actual 90° clamp to put the two together after wood glue was applied: Now.... before any of this... which i did not do... you should make all the holes for screws. In my experience the tons of glue used in good layered wood should easily suit the needs of pc screws. I used a sacrificial plate to determine the right sizes for the holes. You could trust the measurements of the screws but why not try is before using it to hold hundreds of euros of hardware. Everything else was pretty much just holes and screws. There is only more truly custom thing: I made clamps to hold the PSU from brass: I put felt in between the metal and the PSU to absorb vibration. At this point i realized, that the components would firstly not fit as intended and secondly that i had not considered how much space cables need. I had to rethink the arrangement and ended up with something like this: I then rebuilt my blender model: It came out something like that. The final form is a compromise, since most IO is at the side, which i wanted to avoid but i am pretty happy with it. I then bought acrylic glass, cut it with a tablesaw (not recommended. dont be cheap like me and get an acrylic cutter.) sanded the sides down up to 800 grid and drilled holes with a metal drill. be careful when punching guide holes for the drill. acrylic is pretty easily cracked as i had to learn. I drilled holes into the sides of the case and inserted threaded bolts until about a cm stood out. I then cut off the head of the bolts. The glass goes over the bolts and is held with wingnuts. As you can clearly see, i painted the case with varnish before installing the hardware. The feet are currently a temporary solution. I am not sure what to do for fee yet. I taped a patch of airfilter sheet from the internet to the bottom to filter the intake. Also a temporary solution right now. If there are any questions left open i am happy to answer.

Hello, Its time again for a new build and this time I am going to use my favorite material, wood! After lots of planning I decided it was going to be another ITX build that would still fit at least one 240mm radiator and long graphics cards if thats what I choose to go with. The plan is to use closed watercooling loops for both CPU and GPU to make future upgrades easier. Ive seen quite a few wood builds over the years but nothing that really felt like me so this will be my version, should also be quite obvious what case I was inspired by Huge thanks to bequiet! and Asrock for helping out with the hardware for this build! And here are a few 3D renders

materials + dremel + sick geek idea while playing games= diy case

So Ive gotten a dremel and I loveeeee modding comps with it, however Im going a step further and making a custom wood case and I need my dremel to use as I lack tools much better. Ive only got two types of blade thinies: one says its for plastic and the other metal. Should I try using th eone for metal one wood or will they both be garbo? Ive got these: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Dremel-EZ-Lock-11-1-2-in-Fiber-Cut-off-Wheel-Set/3085917

Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong section or not allowed in some fashion. Two weeks ago, there was a link to a competition to win a Jord watch on the WAN Show found here: After entering (and not winning) said competition, they did in fact send a $50 discount code which I will not be using Per the e-mail, Jord said it was fine if the code was shared with someone who will make use of it.

Hi everyone, I was browsing the web to refresh my knowledge about current pc parts (did not really follow the releases since I built my own pc, 4 years ago) and I was looking at cases designs. My lil' brother will soon be asking me to build him a proper gaming pc and since he always used MacBooks and iPhones for school I was looking out for some sleek looking white/wood cases or something along this theme. After some quick Googling nearly all I found was DIY projects... Do you guys know about brands/case models that use wood?
